Neither India nor Pakistan have thermonuclear devices (the megaton range) or even boosted fission bombs.

if i remember right, nuclear winter assumes the following chain of events:

- most cities hit will erupt into firestorms (which is a specific phenomenon and not just a lot of fire)
- the firestorms will produce enormous amounts of submicron dust
- the submicron dust is injected into the stratosphere
- it lingers there for an extended period of time rather than falling back down

if any of those fail to happen, there's no nuclear winter


it's worth noting the original proponents of nuclear winter theory also believed that large scale oil well fires would gently caress up the climate like a nuclear winter, but that wasn't the case during or after the 1991 gulf war


all that said there are still lots of excellent reasons to abhor even a limited exchange, like millions of dead people, radioactive fallout, and overall global turmoil

The thing to remember is a fire started by a nuclear bomb is just a regular rear end fire, not some incredible event spewing smoke in to the stratosphere like a supervolcano or a big asteroid impact

We've had a lot of big fires lately, hasn't been a worldwide crisis yet

The war comes to an end after India detonates two nuclear weapons over the city of Islamabad

The two devices were named "Show Bobs" and "Bitch Lasagna"

Yeah the only real issue with making thermonuclear bombs after making regular nukes is getting tritium and it's the same process as making heavy water. Oddly enough the Indian leadership has been happy to have enough nuclear weapons to ensure Pakistan dies and not much more. They're not interested in spending on more than that.

Also, as a nitpicket, neutron bombs are designed for higher gamma flash, not a bigger bomb.Though yes, making one means you can make the other.

I long for the day when I get to leave all my possessions save a bicycle and a few essential tools behind and get to leave this frozen hellscape and roam a scorched hellscape that's at least warm.

Maybe India and Pakistan doing the needful will give me that chance sooner than later.

We're all working on that, but India and Pakistan may be taking a shortcut. The rest of us are waiting until global warming does the job.

Pretty sure those nuclear winter projections hinges on cities turning into firestorms ala Dresden in WW2, not just regular rear end fires.

No I’m implying the global intelligence network tried to set off nukes in that region and failed and they are waging a groundwar/air strike as punishment. Then they complainin about their planes getting shot down. Now cops are keistering lithium and monkey poo poo as punishment for that.
